Nonstop flight route between Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between General Ignacio Pesqueira García International Airport (HMO), Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and United States Air Force Academy (AFF), Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 770 miles (or 1,238 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between General Ignacio Pesqueira García International Airport and United States Air Force Academy, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
